I let my hair loose
Dancing,
Living
Free
Until i can no
Longer stand the heat.
And the
Phoenix I Become.
To ashes i return
(And i know no
Time in this realm)
I create fire,
Standing,
Dancing,
Flying
Once more.
And the one thing that everburns
Yet never dies within me is love.
And it grips the poets heart
At any moment.
And they are left breathless,
Adrenaline coursing through
The body.
What words?
How to say?
How to draft with the heart
A picture?
And they might be left stumbling,
For more words
To find
No words.
And pretend like nothing
Left them stunned as time stopped,
The
Out of body experience.
Just
Like that.
At any given instant
The ecstasy in every cell
Becoming poetry.
Cannot go back in time.
Cannot rewind
And love more,
Love better.
Do it now.
Slow down.
Hold a hand.
Show them
You mean it.
Clouds of black
As day turns to night.
I try to speak with all my might,
Soundless.
On hands and knees I crawl.
The wind pushes me to where i do not wish to go,
Where i do not recall my name.
My skin feels not my own.
I lie motionless,
Overcome with shadows.
Still i breath.
I sleep until I forget
And dream
In a place
Where time slumbers
And forgets as well.
I run my fingers ever so slowly over
Each groove in
The bark.
Oak tree standing wise,
So strong.
I swear I feel
Sights seen.
Love and loss witnessed.
I hear the limbs
Moan and shake
In the endless embrace of
The wind.
They whisper to me
As I lean in closer,
“Time tells all my love.”
Stop spending so much time
Thinking about the haters
And more time being
Present
With the lovers
Of you.
Time and time
Again
I
Am left lying with the poetry of you
In my
Heart
And the sun
In
My eyes.
I remain
Breathless.
I will carry your
Echo with me
Until time
Comes
That I may return
It to you.
Love is too precious
And life too short a gift
To let time go by so
Swiftly
Without seeing your face
My child
Like a phantom
Time has
Stolen itself away
I always thought i would return home
Whenever i like
Only now
mom and dad
Are both long gone
Still i step upon familiar streets
Still i walk barefoot
The grass reminds me
unspoken hurts
unspoken love
Laughter echoes in my heart
Cigarette smoke
Clouds my eyes
I see them there
Amongst the fall leaves.
Fallen dreams
So quickly tossed about
By
Children playing tag
With no
Attention
Paid to time.
And i smile.
